Who Do Home Buyers Trust When Everyone Has Incentives? | Ep. 73 w/ Nico Lang (Aligre)
The real estate industry has no shortage of expertise.
Agents know homes.
Lenders understand financing.
Platforms know listings.
Lenders understand financing.
Platforms know listings.
But expertise does not automatically equal objectivity.
In this episode of Is Anything Real?, host Adam W. Barney sits down with Nico Lang, co-founder of Aligre, to explore the hidden incentive problem behind one of the biggest decisions people make.
The question:
Who do you trust when everyone involved benefits if you move forward?
Nico shares why Aligre exists, why guidance should be separated from the transaction, and why consumers deserve a place to think before the execution machine begins.
This conversation goes way beyond real estate. It's about leadership, incentives, trust, and the systems shaping our decisions.
Because the biggest risk is not always bad information. Sometimes it is advice coming from someone who benefits from the outcome.
